What kind of chicken is Sunset?

[Riven]

Of course when I wanted to get a photo of a couple earlier no one would cooperate, but I turned and clicked and these guys are a perfectly placed trio!

My question is what is the one in the middle. We have an older hen like her, the red with white and love her, they have great personalities. This one is my daughters she picked out as a chick this spring, and she's been wanted to know... what kind of chicken is Sunset? So I thought I would asked those who know more than I do!

Red Sex-Link.

They're wonderful layers of large brown eggs!

Super thanks!

I have black sexlinks and know what they look like, but I didn't remember what the girls' all picked out from the farm store bins this spring!

That's not a red sex link! RSL's have black tails. No, she's a gold sex link.

I have Golden Comets and Red Sex links that look exactly like her - I dont think it has to have a black tail to be a RSL - if so all the RSL's I have from Healthy and the ones my cousin purchased from a local farmer who bred his own are all breaking the rules!

They call em cinnamon queens down here in the woods.

She's identical to our red sex link, Lucy.

looks just like my red sex link too

what is that hen on the left though? looks just like my EEs but with the yellow legs I'm thinking it's different ?

I think it is actually pretty rare to find a RSL with a black tail. Production reds usually have black tails, but they are not sex-linked.

That bird looks like a brown leghorn. Note the white ears
